Pretty much perfect IMHO. Pose, light, colors (esp. BG) and framing overall. Just love this canvas. TFS

[arash_hazeghi]

love the pose and light, great soft water. I don't find the head quite tack sharp, wondering if it was a hair soft in RAW?

TFS

[annmpacheco]

love the pose and agree another round of sharpening to the head, lovely colors and setting.

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

RAW is sharp. Repost with additional sharpness applied to the head.

[Jay Ing]

Yes, repost is nicely sharper. Love the pose here as well. Clean BKG helps us stay on topic also. TFS. Really nice!

[Bill Dix]

Wonderful pose, calm and clean water. Repost helps.

Krishna, you're nailing these wings up shots at the water line. Really like this one, well done.

May be worth a coupe min of your time to evict the small imperfections on the water line in a sweet frame like this.

[arash_hazeghi]

repost nailed it Krishna

Looks great. Love that pose. Nice light and low angle as well.

Very nice Krishna, glad you reposted with additional sharpening too. I bet you were happy when you got this!
